Iron Scale Mail is for the moment a Draugr Elite lands a swing you cannot dodge, and most Vikings are wearing it when they go down into the mud to face Bonemass. It has 14 armour, 20 when fully upgraded, and ranks 9th among chest pieces. Its materials come from the Swamp, and you make it at a Forge. Worn with the rest of the Iron Armor set, it is part of a 42 armour rating, which turns a 100-damage hit into 58.

How to Craft


Craft it at a level 2 forge from:

Name Image Biome Crafting Station Spawn ID
Iron Iron Swamp Smelter spawn Iron
Deer Hide Deer Hide Meadows - spawn DeerHide

When to Use It


This is early game gear. Iron comes from Sunken Crypts in the Swamp, so it opens up once The Elder is down.

Upgrades


You can upgrade it 3 times after crafting, and each level needs the station built one step higher than the last. Every other figure on this page is for quality 1, so this table shows where your own copy sits:

2 Forge (Level 3) 16 1200

Properties


  • -5% Movement speed
  • Movement -5%. This is what wearing it costs you in speed and in the cost of a dodge roll.

Notes


  • It lowers movement speed by 5%, and heavy chest and leg penalties add up, so a full heavy set slows you by 10% before a shield slows you further.
  • Armor lowers physical, fire, frost and lightning damage, but poison and spirit damage go straight through it.
  • Each upgrade level adds 2 armor.
